What decides the code
A bra is classified as a brassiere under heading 6212, and the man-made fiber lines fall under 6212.10.90.20.
- Fiber content decides the subheading. A bra of man-made fibers takes 6212.10.90.20.
- The article must be a brassiere or similar body support article of heading 6212. A garment without that function does not belong here.
- Whether the bra is knitted or crocheted does not move it out of heading 6212. The heading covers both constructions.
Common mistakes
- Classifying a man-made fiber bra in 6212.10.90.10 is wrong. That line covers brassieres of other textile materials, not man-made fibers.
- Putting a bra in heading 6109 as a knitted T-shirt or similar garment is wrong. Heading 6212 names brassieres directly.
- Classifying a bra under heading 6114 as other knitted apparel is wrong. A brassiere is specifically provided for in heading 6212.
